                    [Title] => Quarrying blamed for Pampanga megadike damage
                    [Summary] => SAN FERNANDO CITY, Pampanga — Local officials have blamed unhampered sand quarrying for the breaching of the eastern flank of the P1.4-billion, anti-lahar megadike at the Pasig-Potrero River.


Fourth district Rep. Oscar Rodriguez who, along with local leaders, inspected the damaged section of the U-shaped, 54-kilometer megadike in Barangay Calzadang Bayu in Porac town, said floodwaters that eroded the megadike could have come from the river’s heavily quarried upper sections.

Five years since then, they have been proven prophetic.

At least 7,967 residents of Porac and Bacolor are again exposed to lahar danger from the Pasig-Potrero River, no thanks to the megadike that was built to protect them.
